RE: How do you find and choose the safest stand?
Yes, I understand your point of view and we do have similar ones
The point I attempted to make was that people should be a little more intelligent and inspect their stands before each use. And even if someone were using a strap on stand or a permanent stand there are systems that can be used to prevent a catastrophic fall.
BTW I was being facetious(?) when I mentioned falling off the ground(I thought it was sort of a funny response...no offense intended if it were a friend of yours).
